🧪 GitHub PR Agent — Native GitHub Automation
The GitHub PR Agent runs automatically in GitHub Actions when a pull request is opened or updated.
It detects changed code, analyzes coverage, generates targeted unit tests, and commits them back to the PR branch — all with zero manual effort.
📌 When to Use
Use the GitHub PR Agent when:
- You're using GitHub Actions
- You want fully automated test generation per pull request
- Your team prefers a zero-config, GitHub-native workflow
- You want to block merges without new tests
⚙️ How It Works
- Triggered by PR open, update, or ready-for-review events
- Detects changed files in the PR diff
- Runs your existing test suite (Jest) to measure coverage
- Identifies under-tested functions
- Generates AI-powered Jest tests for those functions
- Commits valid tests (only if they pass and compile)
- Posts a PR comment summarizing coverage and results
